Quote from Event Developer :

"The idea for this specific event came out of many discussions with jazz singers and personal experience in the vocal jazz industry. There are challenges exclusive to using the human voice as an instrument, and a limited amount of performance venues for jazz singers. It is my hope that the SongBird Vocal Jazz Fest will provide an opportunity for discussion, educational aspects in both the craft and the business of jazz singing, and bring together the vocal jazz community in support of jazz singing as an art form. I look forward to working with a team of supporters who share my vision for this event to grow and become an annual, perhaps multi-day festival in Colorado." ~ Terri Jo Jenkins
